The is 2552 and humanity has created a state of the art super soldier capable of tossing over tanks....so how bout some hi tech weapons....

Threads like these have been made a million times over so dont flame me for it.

I know these weapons will never make halo 3 but it's cool to hope for something similar to them...

1) Take a standard two chambered rocket launcher and leave it the same as in halo 2 but change the rockets themselves. Sure its neet to launch a high explosive right into the -blam!- pit of a wraith but why not other explosives. A)put an small range high voltage emp directly in the rocket...Once it hits the target electricity immediatly flows through the vehichle killing all passengers and permanatly functionless.

2) Lasersight! 500 yrs in the future and they still have the same aiming system as today. While it wont effect gameplay becuase of mc's helmet neway itll still look cool.

Im too lazy to write nemore so plz post nething that has to do with hi tech weapons in halo 3

And to all flamers im sorry if this thread was already made but i have a life and dont sit around the boards all day.

Whaa? Are you talking about an EMP rocket?

1) EMP doesn't harm people.
2) And uh, an EMP-explode-on-contact rocket wouldn't be very practical, or likely.

The emp fries everything electrical so there would be electricity through the whole vehicle.

It fries it but no electrocutes a human. It doesnt have enough voltage to harm a human. -___-

No, it fries electronics. It does not fire electricity through everything like a power line hitting a chain-linked fence. (Which could actually just melt the metal right through.. Heh.)

Anyway, it wouldn't harm the people inside, unless some sort of lfie-support in the vehicle or their suits would prevent them from.. Uh, living.

Maybe you guys should read up on some stuff.. Haloallday, you're partly wrong as well.

this is 500 years in the future and is made into a weapon to hurt people. Im sure they can find a way to put more volts into it.

EMP works by causing electromagnetic eddie-currents and burns out electronics. It's an electromagnetic blast that goes through electronics and burns them out. It's not like blowing a fuse or frying something with a power line, as I've said before.

Maybe it could temporary scramble the visor?

I don't understand why you could not just use a regular rocket launcher. An EMP dosen't kill a person, but a rocket does. :)

Not considering the fact that EMP blows electronics completely.. Of course, it could be a cool effect.

An EMP rocket is a fantastic idea in early, "I-don't-really-understand-how-EMP-works" concept, but not in actually use..

And Sniper777 has a point... We don't need another rocket launcher.

Mr. Mohawk...you don't seem to understand that EMP are a type of radiation emitted after a Nuclear Blast. It has nothing to due with electricty, current, or resistance. EMP (Electromagnetic Pulses) were first discovered with the explosion of a far more powerful Atomic Device around the mid 50's I believe. They did a test in the lower South Pacific, and the EMP knocked out Communications and other equipment in Hawaii, about anywhere from 1500 - 3000 miles away.

In those 1500 + miles, no one died...unless they were made of electronic equipment.

Even 500 - 800 years in the Future, all EMP's could do is wipe Eletronic equipment out cleaner than Ghandi's driving record.

Dude, EMP would be pimp. EMP could take out electronic devices such as bridge and gate switches rendering them useless. yeah, That would be sweet. I support this idea.

2) Lasersight! 500 yrs in the future and they still have the same aiming system as today. While it wont effect gameplay becuase of mc's helmet neway itll still look cool.The weapon sight is linked into the Chief's HUD, where he points the gun, the cross-hair goes. I'd say it'd be more advanced than a laser sight, as enemies cannot see where you are aiming.

And to all flamers im sorry if this thread was already made but i have a life and dont sit around the boards all day.I feel it's a little strong to state that you 'have a life', yet put your time to creating this thread.

Let's see...what doesn't anyone understand about EMP's don't have a side in war...they kill all electronic equipment. Human or Covenant...for many many miles. If you drope a Nuke high enough above a country, and detonate it..the EMP will whipe out 90% + of that Countries electronic system...

Do you see the scale of destruction?

And it's not very controlled.. As Zee said, all of your stuff stops working as well. Whoop-dee-doo. That's fun.

And you also didn't bother reading any other posts. You should, and you may change your mind. Maybe.
